Credit is due to che league sail. enders
FOR having PLAYED the pfettiess game Of
the season. Neither Indianapolis nor
PittsbnFe are credited With an error,
while the only run made during the
game vas scored By Healy on bis Own
double and seeFy's three Dagger. Nine
hila we're made of Calvin. and bat SIX
and one base on balls OF Healy. Such
Rames are rare and are generally Wit
messed by small attendance.
Jack Ksrlins does not believe that Of

lead The Association calcheTa.s he said,
Yesterday, II could do II easily. All
wonld have TO do woald be TO throw

make Wild pitches Of ell my passed
balls. Bat throw qoick and hard 10

and occasionally send . ball clear

as result, have passed balls where i
could easily avoid them, N chose 10
do so."--Lsaispiils ErehaRge.
Wright has q weakness for left handed
pitchers, and gives bis Eeason a. follows:
IAN the pitchers get In The lover right
hamd corner Of the box-tOwards hFat
base. Nov. with q right banded pitcher
the ball 10 thrown Equarely at the batter.
This becomes q necessity, as the bats.
mans lines do not permit him 10 stand
otherwise than at right angles With the
piatei or, more properly speaking, his
bat you'd hit straight pitched ball at
exactly right angle. A straight pitched
ball from Left. handed pitcher cuts the
plate diagonally. II IL harder TO hit
such ball safely. and when you take
into consideration shat almost 10 per
cent. Of pitched balls are straight
throws yon will see the force Of my
theory. Tho drop OF raise ball OF .
left handed mAn ID eQeally more ef.
fectivs than that OF q right handed one.
That u Why favor left-handed pit
ehers."
